Why would you think scarcity is artificial? Have you tried growing your own food lately? Do you have an army of robots who are doing it for you?

Why would you think scarcity is artificial? Have you tried growing your own food lately? Do you have an army of robots who are doing it for you?
- akira2501 2y agoNo. I go to the grocery store. Where an army of robots controlled by farmers has already done it for me. We're so good at this more than 1/3 of it goes to waste. We export so much food it literally disrupts world markets. The question you want to ask is there ever a point where population's psychical space demands overcome the space required to feed those people? We are nowhere near this limit.
- XorNot 2y agoRight, so you are claiming you are entitled to the productivity of land worked by the labor of someone else, managed by someone else. What are you contributing to the process?
- LocalH 2y agoJust because artificial scarcity exists doesn't mean natural scarcity doesn't. Do you deny the existence of artificial scarcity?
